## Summary

The procurement process is led by the University of Nottingham, focusing on funding from the EPSRC for the UK membership of the European Magnetic Field Laboratory (EMFL). This initiative falls under the industry category of research services and was located in the East Midlands of the United Kingdom. The procurement is at the award stage, with the contract awarded on 2nd December 2021, valued at £633,550. The procurement method used was a limited negotiated procedure without prior publication, effectively distributing EPSRC funds to specific facilities within the EMFL.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in research services, especially those that qualify as SMEs. Companies with expertise in advanced scientific infrastructure and collaboration with international research organisations would be particularly well-suited to compete. Engaging with the EMFL and its facilities could lead to further projects, enhancing the potential for business growth within the research community.

## Notice

The School of Physics & Astronomy has received funding from the EPSRC as part of the UK membership of the European Magnetic Field Laboratory (EMFL). This is a mid-range facility funded by the EPSRC and coordinated by Prof Amalia Patane in the School of Physics & Astronomy. Within the EMFL, the HFML (operated by the Radboud University Nijmegen and the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO)) and the LNCI-Grenoble (operated by CNRS) are committed to generate the highest continuous magnetic fields, currently up to 37.5 T. The HLD-Dresden (operated by the Helmholtz- Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf) and the LNCMI-Toulouse focus on non-destructive pulsed magnetic fields with strengths up to the feasibility limited of 100 T and semi-destructive fields up to 200 T. We are distributing this funding to the individual facilities of the EMFL, of which CNRS Delegation Alpes is one. We have a contract with EPSRC to this effect. As such, we are not buying anything but simply distributing these EPSRC funds to the EMFL.
